Yup, in pretty much all mannequin challenge videos, one song is playing.

We’ve found ourselves singing the hook on repeat in our heads. We’ve played the same mannequin challenge on a loop. And every now and then we’ve thought: ‘wait, this is a good song. What is that?’

So, people. Here are the answers you’ve been looking for.

First off, the basics. The song that’s played in the majority of the mannequin challenge videos you’ve been seeing is Black Beatles by hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd (yes, their name refers to two people: brothers Khalif ‘Swae Lee’ Brown and Aaquil ‘Slim Jxmmi’ Brown), and Gucci Mane.

More specifically, the challenges tend to feature just the main hook of the song, which starts with: ‘that girl is a real crowd pleaser.’

It came out in September, and was pretty popular even then.

But since the mannequin challenge became a thing, the views on the song’s video have rocketed.

Rae Sremmurd have made the most of the hype, doing their own mannequin challenge at one of their concerts.

We reckon that it’s just down to the first mannequin challenge creator using the song (probably entirely out of personal preference for the song), and everyone else assuming that the song was an essential part of the challenge.

Once a few people used the song for the challenge, it became the song you had to use to make sure your video actually counted as a proper mannequin challenge. We think.

However it happened, it’s now an integral part of the mannequin challenge craze, and Swae Lee and and Slim Jxmmi are probably feeling very pleased with themselves. As they should.
